Prettys Garage

Responded to my emergency smoke from bonnet immediately. Problem found and fixed in the same day. Always very helpful and pleasant, sensible prices, highly recommended.

Always use Prettys, fair and honest. MOT while you wait.. in the pub over the road! what more do you need... Amendment: I was informed today, my motorcycle had failed its MOT for wrong rear tyre direction. Only thing is, Prettys fitted the tyres a short while ago. I "should have checked their work and checked tyre direction before I left". I distinctly remember both telling and being asked which side the sprocket was. I was extremely surprised to be told by a man who owns and runs his own company it was expected that trusting customers perform duplicate inspections of their work. This could have been a very easy fix but I now have a motorcycle with a failed first MOT on record from the garage that incorrectly fitted the failed component... Last I checked, I pay to have things done correctly. If something is wrong I would usually expect a bit of ownership of the problem and willingness to make work right. Instead I was informed I could pay to have the rear wheel removed and they would reverse the tyre, or I could drop the wheel off. I couldn't leave on an MOT-less bike and I wasn't paying. After asking I was lent a handful of spanners and a bottle jack by Mr Pretty to remove and replace my own rear wheel so the tyre direction could be reversed by him. This took me roughly 20 minutes with rudimentary hand tools, so could easily have been done in even less time with a full garage worth of equipment. Hopefully everyone who visits and has issues, has the mechanical wherewithal to remove and replace components, and can make a good guess at their rear axle bolt toque... I was awarded my MOT pass and promptly left. I have frequented (and recommended) Prettys for MOTs for years. After this last interaction I will not be returning.

Efficiently run with pleasant staff and a can do attitude. MOT tester knowledgeable approachable guy. If your worried about getting you vehicle through the test ask this guy first and he will put you right. If you fail don't blame him it's your lack of forethought that has failed you!

Only visited a couple of times to get fuel but staff are friendly and they have a shop with basic essentials.

I've been going to prettys for bike mots for near 20 years. You know the saying don't judge a book by its cover? They know their stuff and i wouldn't go elsewhere.
